I have the stock intel cooler and i took off the crappy paste that comes preapplied and put on some AS5. I upped the voltage to 1.4 to the vcore and my idle temp is 42c and load is 46c. I assume these temps are pretty good for the stock cooler and an overclock of more than 1.2ghz. What are you all getting? I am gonna buy a Zalman 9500 soon when I can get it for cheaper but I think my current temps are pretty good. Oh I use Asus PC Probe 2 for the temps.

Lets hear about your overclock and temps!
 
Run coretemp and tell us what your temps are. PC probe can be inaccurate.

What makes coretemp more accurate? Anyways I downloaded it and both cores are around 50c. That is a bit disconcerting. Why would is there such a big discrepancy between Pc probe and coretemp? Anways, yeah that is a bit too high for my liking.
 
Core Temp reads form the core, while the others read form the mobo, for the most part.

man there's nothing disconcerting about 51'c :) you're golden.

as for coretemp vs asusprobe, that's something that still bugs me. Because there hasn't been thermistors placed in the center of the socket on the motherboard for years already.

I remember years ago when things were moving to diode based readings. They were still inaccurate and varied between different boards. I feel like it's more or less the same sensor, just with a built in device to read it or something.

Especially if you think about the a64's. There's no center of the socket to place a thermistor. The pin grid array goes all the way in the center

QFT. I have no idea where PC probe gets the temp readings from for the cpu. Maybe from the top of the chip on the IHS?

50c is pretty good. My load temps peak around 55c. So they are great for stock cooling and a overclock.
 
im pretty sure you can back it down from 1.4v i'm running 2.8ghz at 1.325v stable as a rock (even with the ghetto vcore droop)

Yeah it booted at that voltage but during gaming the computer would lock up. I raised it to like 1.39(+-.02) and its rock solid.

They need to make a universal way measuring temperatures, it would make this soo much easier. And so 50c isnt that bad... Thats cool - pun intended.:eek:
 
to find your lowest stable voltage just keep on lowering it until it crashes. Then pop it to the voltage higher than the one that caused the crash. I bet you 10 dollars you could run it at 3.5v and be fine :p
 
How the hell are your load temps with the stock cooler and more voltage cooler than with my Zalman 9700 and less voltage?

Arrg I should have bought a Scythe Infinity...

Yeah I did that, raised till it stopped any instability, this voltage is just above the one where it locked up. EDIT: Man my memory is failing me these days, my vcore is at 1.35 not 1.4.

No idea man, but that comment made me feel good:D. I think I can attribute it to really good air flow threw my case. And maybe my environment is cooler than yours...its a constant 69F.
 
Can I see a picture of your case setup? I want to get an idea of how your airflow is configured. Is it just the stock Antec P180 fans or did you tweak something?

If you're 55C at 1.35v (as opposed to 1.4), then we're pretty much dead even in temperature to voltage ratio. Which still doesn't make sense because I've got that monster of a cooler on there and cut an extra exhaust hole into my case... I can't believe case airflow could make that big of a difference and I've remounted this cooler like a billion times.

Bah I'm so confused!

I added two more fans to the Antec to give the motherboard area more air. All fans for top area is in RED. The top fan is on medium versus the back fans low, so that helps push more cold air over the CPU. Here is a pic:

I know the wiring looks nasty, but the temps are good, and I can be bothered to do much more.

Question: Why so much Vcore?

Pic

1.2875 Vcore

1.232 - 1.224 Vdroop

I don't know man, My computer would NOT boot at that vcore and 1.35 was the only one it was stable at for 24+ hours (orthos). Your pretty lucky to have it soo highly OC'd with such low voltage. What is the voltage through the BIOS, as monitoring programs can be quite innacurate. Core Temp says mine is 1.325 when its actually 1.350.

IIRC, CoreTemp just shows the default Vcore value for the CPU. I go by the readings in CPU-Z v1.38. Those readings are about 1.24 to 1.22 V.
BIOS is set to 1.2875 Vcore. The voltage difference between settings and readings there is due to the Vdroop of the motherboard.

Edit: I've since replaced the ghetto fan with an 80mm compusa generic (w blue light), but it's essentially the same thing.

everybody make sure " PECI " is disabled in your bios for more accurate temp measurements

some ppl have it on and some have it off
lets say u have PECI disabled, then your coretemp temps and your asus probe temps would be the same
PECI only affects PC PROBE , not CORETEMP, so use coretemp for accuracy and if you dont have the PECI option in your bios
all ASUS 965/975 boards should have this

don't worry ZINN, he's reporting temps with "PECI" enabled

I am using Coretemp for my temps. 50c idle 55c load - via Coretemp.
 
TRY INTEL TAT for temperature reading, let us know the result. It is the best and accurate.

Everytime I install and run TAT I get an error saying "error running enumeration on bleh bleh - the process was terminated". I cant try that.

What temps are you guys gettin with your oc'd 6300's?
 
TAT does not work on all mobos. The P5n-e SLI may be one of them. Coretemp will work on any mobo.

That explains it...I was think there was something wrong with my rig. Would you consider TAT to be more accurate than coretemp? Ehh, whatever the temps are fine and accurate enough for me.

For me coretemp and tat show the same temps or are off only by a few degrees.
